One of the most used scales in Jazz and Fusion is the Melodic Minor scale. But for other styles this scale can be an awesome asset too for improvising and creating some colourful riffs and licks. In this 30 minute QJamTracks guitar tutorial video you’ll see and hear plenty of examples with tablature. You will learn what the essence of this scale is and, learn how to use in it in different situations, for instance in a two chord Vamp, a pop chord progression, fusion progressions and a II V I in a minor key. You will also learn about the modes of this remarkable melodic minor scale. The whole tutorial is drenched in graphics and animation so it all becomes crystal Clear!

Very well presented. Your explanation of the Melodic Minor Scale and uses is one of the best I've viewed to date.
Like a mullet: Minor in the front, Major at the back!

saya ingin tanya pak guru, ketika pemainnya 2,5,1, kenapa dua yang dipakai IIm-5 ? terus kenapa lima yang dipakai V alterd ?
It's an elegant, sophisticated, and classy sounding scale! Thank you!!!!! Great tutorial!!!
I know all of this, but find myself watching anyway, as you organise these lessons quite beautifully. I did learn a lot from your lesson on the exotic scales though, so I think I'll stick around . Thank-you. (And well done, on your wonderfully presented content).
Great video, Jimmy Herring would have approved of that intro too.
I took a lot of notes. Thank you. I can not possibly convey to you how much this video helped me.
Excellent video as always, I love your Crystal clear series videos, they are always very informative and helpful to grow your musical knowledge. Thank you so much Rob for another excellent video . Cheers

The melodic minor scale sounds like my home planet calling me back over.
Than you very very much!
Thank you
Ooooh goodness ... I've always kind of shied away from Melodic Minor ever since I heard about it as a kid ... very long time ago in the recorder class in primary school I guess (classical way with Natural Minor descending). But after recapping - and diving into - with the Phrygian Dominant lesson of yours, the Melodic Minor appeared. So I thought ... OK then, let's at least take a short look ... and you really cought me right away! This lesson opened a whole new world ... and there will be a lot to digest too! But it's definitely worth the struggle. Fantastic! ... and again, many thanks for sharing your great knowledge ... cheers Res

I want to play the Hawaiian Scale for ukulele which is melodic minor scale, will have a go after work, like to play it before I sleep. Very good lesson. I also like D2 chord which works with this scale.
Super!!!!!🎸
Melodic minor can be considerd as Dorian maj7 @20:00 II degree shold be Phrygian major6 , NOT Phrygian sharp 6 Vi degree should be Locrian major2, NOT Locrian sharp2 @24:20 "Autumn Leaves" was composed by Joseph Kosma
Hello Sir, I would like to thank you for the effort that you have put into the content of this video. I am impressed. I have recently paid $75 for the Beato Interactive book, the content of which disappointed me. This single video of yours on the topic is very fulfilling. I will consider purchasing your products on Patreon next month.

Agreed. The Beato book is very disappointing
👍 Thanks
Slash uses.... superb lessons.

I see it as the major scale with the crucial flattened third. The flat third makes it cut you just right.

That's a good way to think of it. All three of the classical minor scales (natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor) share the first five notes, and - of course - the last note; it's only notes 6 and 7 that vary.
Enjoyed the lesson. As always, a lot to unpack. Kind of looks like a marriage between the Dorian and Harmonic minor scales (for example, in Am: retaining the F# from Dorian and G# from Harmonic minor) This would allow an Am, D, E7 progression (which is common).

The opening sequence of the series Jessica Jones... I always wondered but now I'm pretty sure 😜
3:00 In terms of harmony theory, from F to G sharp is not a minor third interval, it is an augmented second ( though the sound is the same)

That's true and I should have called it that way.
I have been playing since The Beatles first arrived on the music scene (no lie) but I have never seriously explored the Melodic Minor scale, or Nateral or Harmonic for that matter. I've always been "stuck" in the CAGED Major/Minor7th pentatonic boxes. Thanks to you and your awesome explanation I'm excited again. I think i can catch on to this. I just built myself a new electric 12 string and along with this video I have a new inspiration to practice more than just noodle again. Thanks. New sub to your channel.

I don’t know if this is correct, but I think of this as a mash between the symmetrical scale and whole tone scale
Holy cow! You're such a knowledgeable musician. You must be British 🙂

I thought that the scale you are talking about is the Harmonic Minor . The Melodic Minor is like the Natural Minor but with a major seventh , so three semi tones between the minor sixth and the major seventh . Correct me if I am wrong ...

I was wrong sorry
this seems to be a topic that will perceive differently each revisit in journey, Im just getting it under my fingers again today why not learn the harmonic minor and melodic minor at the same time on one string at a time? since the difference is the 6th , using 3 notes per string melodic ascending and harmonic descending, is it any value in soloing? of course throwing back the major scale note on the descending is already in the memory for natural minor descending so in key of G major I sharpen the C(melodic) and D(melodic and harmonic) , which are the 6 and 7th of Enatural minor is there many shortcut methods that can be shared?

Hi Vincent. Thanks for your contribution. There are many ways to study scales and these ones in particular. I like to practice a scale in a musical context. The melodic scale has different application than the harmonic minor scale. So that could be a reason to practice them without relating the scales. On the other hand is the structure of both scales quite a like. so in technical sense it would be a way to practice this together.
interesting, but you lost me when stating the modes and which chords.
This is really helpful!! Thank!!..you have a really cool style too..but you pronounce..s..not sch...its easy.. Unlike your lessons which are..and aren't:)
